Someone told me the best way to tell them apart from the inside was to look at the step into the flight deck. IIRC step down in a 757 and step up in a 767.
Correct! If I recall there was only about two switches different between the 5 and the 6 but operating procedures were virtually identical Except flare height. After the 50 feet call wait 2 seconds before starting to flare the 76 and three second for a 75 !
That said the bogie angle on the 76 was opposite the 75 which was a doddle to land smoothly, on the 76 you took what you got !
Both quite brilliant aircraft, delightful to fly and operate, but never did manage to fly a 76 and 75 on the same day!
